27/Objects

My favorite piece of furniture: an 1880's poplar stepback cupboard. I bought it at an antique show—sometimes not the best idea, but if you make an offer near the close, dealers are happy to deal. The painting at left is a portrait of my house by my cousin; her daughter interpreted my gloriosa daisies. Scratches courtesy of cats Morgan and Grimmy.

    Looking at the picture, I think I need to switch the upper left (soup tureen) and the lower right.

      Isn't it weird how being one step removed (ie seeing it through a photo) helps us see things we didn't see before?

      Nice cabinet.
